Three things to watch vs. Lafayette

Villanova finally has its home opener. The No. 7-ranked Wildcats (1-1) host Lafayette (0-2) this Saturday, at 6 p.m. Villanova downed Lafayette last year on the road, in their first meeting since 1920, winning 31-14.

The Leopards enter Saturday’s game looking for their first win after dropping the first two against Monmouth and Sacred Heart.

Here are three things to watch for this weekend’s game:

It hasn't been a hot start for Lafayette's new head coach, John Garrett. The Leopards have dropped their first two games of the season, but if there was a way for them to turn it around and get a win against a top 10-ranked team like Villanova, Garrett would know how.
